Good for JPGs? Is this the item I want?

I would have have to say yes. I am using it for all my digital photos. Seems to work fine.

Depends on what you want to use it for. Photos take a huge amount of computer space as do some games with graphics.

Does very well with 4x5 film and really good with 6x6 film etc. but you need to use at least 1200 dpi resolution and the result will be a large file. Scale at 100%. The default is 400% which in my opinion gives worse results. I would save as a compressed tiff. or at least the largest resolution JPG that you an. You also need to make sure the you uncheck the option for sharpening.

I get about 1000 max quality jpegs with a 4GB card with an XTi. The camera should be compatible with any current compact flash card. Storing ALL your irreplaceable images on one massive card probably isn't a very good idea due to possible loss so a daily backup method - laptop, portable image storage solution - is highly recommended.

I'd shoot in the highest format you can according to how much your card can handle, then crop down to the print size you want or down to 1080 for viewing on your TV. Realistically, though, if you're going to be taking a ton of photos a smaller size will help with hard drive storage in the long run.

That's what I've used it for. I think it does a great job with them. I've compared them to the photos I got scanned from photo bin and they were about the same but without all the hassle of mailing them off and in the end is much better cost wise. Its hard to get them all to be perfectly straight when fed through if you do it in a hurry but theres a tool in their software that before you save them into your computer, you can crop them a little to make them straight. I'm actually not going to use my remaining groupons for photo bin and use the doxie cause its just as good. One caveat, I'm copying older photos so I'm not sure if that makes a difference. Maybe newer ones won't be as sharp, don't know.

I am using it for jpeg photos. I have inserted an SD card and it worked very well. That is the only feature I have used.

Yes it will hold these photos. Some older photos may be an odd size, so keep your scissors handy.

thanks for the input .....I had gone ahead and ordered the Scan-Snap but had decided to return it before it even arrived. Your response just made me know that I made the right decision. My plan now is to sort through all those photos and send the best of the lot to a company such as Best Photo Scanning and let them preserve them on discs for me.

Brian - Actually I've used it a couple times to do just that and was surprised with the results. Obviously, it all depends on your definition of "quality images". Unfortunately, Amazon does not allow me to attach images here, but I could send you a couple of files (one from yesterday's solar eclipse...) so you would be able to judge. Just send me an email (leitejl at yahoo) and I'll reply back. Thanks!

You can scan something that's any size you want (as long as its not too big to fit on the glass). You just put as many pictures on the glass as you can fit at a time and scan everything. Once you've cropped out each individual picture (I'm not sure how this model works with that part of the process, sorry), then you can put the jpeg files on a CD or make a slideshow on a DVD or whatever you want. Remember if it's a really small picture you might want to use the enlarge feature when you scan it to make it bigger and a higher resolution so it'll look better on a large screen like a TV. What you've asked about isn't too high of an expectation at all. That's just what any scanner does.

I assume, but I don't know. The page feeder can generate multi-page PDFs, so JPGs would seem pretty likely.

You can store it as a jpeg file, if you want to change it to a tiff file, I would use another program.

Hi it's fine if you have gif image we will convert it if we need it in jpg . U can send any image as long as the dpi of the picture is 100 or more it's fine Thanks

I use it to hold photos (typically 8x10) I guess you could use them for a single magazine as long as it's not much larger than 8x10. I'm not sure if the plastic bag is correct for any type of archival quality needed for collectable comics or magazines.

Yes it can. You have to select type of scan, e.g., tiff or JPEG. You'll probably want JPEG. You should set the resolution, which depends upon what you want to do with the scanned image. Low resolution is OK if you are going to distribute the scanned pictures in emails, but if you want to make prints ultimately, save at at least 300 dpi. You should tell the scanner where on your computer you want to save the files. I use "My Pictures," but the default, whatever it is, is OK, as long as you make a note of it, so that you can find the pictures after scanning them. You'll be asked about color settings or black and white. Choose the default settings for either, since things can become quite complex if you decide to tweak the settings. This is an excellent scanner, and it can do anything you ssk of it, including restoring damaged pictures, but that's for more advanced users.

I have used it to scan in some photos and they turned out well. I think it would depend upon the type whether you wanted to run them through or not, such as old family photos, etc.
